Which, apparently, is happening right now. Droid Life reports that a fix for the multitouch problems – as well as an issue with the Nexus 7′s GPS feature – is starting to roll out to users.

According to a Googler who has been responding in an ongoing thread over at Google’s product forums, an update is rolling out that should fix the issue. The update, as has been reported by a couple of forums, is build JSS15Q, which is still Android 4.3.

The update hasn’t yet appeared on my Nexus 7 review unit. If you have one of these tablets, has it shown up for you? Let us know the results in the comments.
